It didn't take long after Biden finished his rancid, combative remarks in Philadelphia for the reviews of the latest divisive screed from "Mr. Unity" to come in, and they predictably were not favorable from those among the 70 million Americans he declared were hatefully working to bring about the end of democracy:
Kayleigh McEnany @kayleighmcenany · Follow Mr. Unity just gave the most divisive presidential speech I have ever seen! 7:30 PM · Sep 1, 2022

In addition to the caustic content of Biden's message — vote for the people I say or you're a fascist — the staging was also of note, and not just the ominous red hue that bathed the sides of Independence Hall. No, the two Marines standing at attention behind the president grabbed viewers' eyes.
A producer for ABC pointed out an obvious but important truth as well:
Meanwhile, even CNN talent was unnerved by the display. Chief National Affairs Correspondent Jeff Zeleny took issue with the staging of the Marines behind Biden for such a political speech, calling it a "break with White House traditions."
CNN's Brianna Keilar joined in the criticism as well saying the positioning of Marines behind Biden for a speech like Thursday night's "flies in the face" of the idea that America's military is "supposed to be apolitical."
Thursday night's political use of military personnel was not even Biden's first flub when it comes to protocol and existing precedent, as Guy pointed out:
Perhaps Biden's combative screed that was ironically previewed by the White House as one of unity did succeed in one way: uniting media across the partisan spectrum in its criticism of the imagery the president used to back up his words.
“Make no mistake, this speech was designed to make us COWER IN FEAR FOR OUR VERY LIVES!!!!!!!!........”
If that was the intent, it failed.
The Dems might want to pay attention to the prophetic words attributed to Japan’s Admiral Yamamoto after the attack on Pearl Harbor: “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.”
Yes they do, just search on Google or wherever.
“This speech was a threat. A statement of intent....God speed and good luck folks. It gets spicy from here.”
Yup.
I do believe you are correct.
This criticism of him is damage control, pure and simple.
LOL, good book.
Mr Trump used The White House as a backdrop for the 2020 Republican Convention.......let go of your pearls.
Maybe it’s the same person who used to design Moochelle’s dresses. I always thought that person had a rather sly sense of humor.
(credit to Laz for that GEM)
Lol, not to mention hillary’s fashion designer too lol
“No no, really, it’s all the rage! Eveeyone’s wearing it, trust me” 😆
The 17th Amendment was a catastrophe for the idea of a constitutional republic.
“Milley is a Marine.”
No, he’s not. He is Army.
My point stands though. Don't be surprised to see US military personnel involved in uh, "Homeland Security" activities now, that's what they'll call it. "Homeland Security".
One hates to say it, but don't be surprised if you see the USMC represented in rounding up some of the riff-raff, particularly the prominent among them.
Or maybe not. Maybe this bullshit from last night will blow up in their faces. Time will tell. One thing I call tell you that's as certain as the sun rising in the east, watch and see what happens this opening weekend in the college football season. Guess what the fans are going to be chanting?
He’s Herr Biden now, not President Biden.
Troops used in the US is illegal per Posse Comitatus.
Not that I expect this administration to follow the law…
Let’s go Brandon or it’s real variant.
